A Folsom home went up in flames with a suspect reportedly barricaded inside Monday evening, officials said.

The Folsom Police Department said the scene was along River Ridge Way, on the west side of the city. The department said officers made several attempts to contact the individual.

There was no fire when officers arrived around 4:30 p.m., police said. Fire officials were then called to the scene around 5:30 p.m., when the first flames were reported.

Fire crews said they wouldn't be able to send their crews inside the home until an official building inspection happened on Tuesday.

Earlier Tuesday morning, police said the person who was reportedly barricaded had not been located or recovered. However, family told CBS News Sacramento later in the morning that they were informed that remains had been found.

Police have since confirmed that a deceased person was found in the home. 

"This was a complex and tragic situation, and we appreciate the patience and cooperation of the community as we worked to ensure everyone's safety," Folsom police said in a statement.

The identity of the person found has not yet been released by authorities. 

A 911 call from a neighbor initially reported a suspicious person and suspicious activity, police said. The suspect was believed to be armed.

Community members were advised to avoid the area while the scene is active. Neighbors in the homes next door were evacuated due to safety concerns with the fire.

Personnel from the Folsom Fire Department, Sacramento Metro Fire, and Sacramento County Sheriff's Office responded to assist.

Metro Fire said fire crews took a defensive posture to keep the flames from spreading to surrounding homes.
